About the book
The result is a powerful, affecting book that strips the romance from adventure and returns it to the human realm. This compelling exploration gives voice to the parents, spouses, children, and partners of climbers who until now have maintained their code of silence. Interviewees include Jim Wickwire, Conrad Anker, Joe Simpson, Chris Bonington, Ed Viesturs and others.
